Biden is seen by most as being the more electable candidate. The one who has the best chance of defeating Trump. That is what the older folks are voting for. It's true the young, 18-29 are far more passionate for Sanders. They are much less likely to take into consideration which candidate has the best chance of winning in November.

An example is that Biden is leading Trump in head to head polls nationally by 8 points. Sanders leads Trump by 5. This becomes more apparent when looking at the swing states.

Wisconsin, Biden ahead of Trump by 3, Sanders tied
Florida, Biden and Trump tied, Trump 5 points ahead of Sanders
Michigan Biden by 5, Sanders by 4
Pennsylvania Biden by 4, Sanders by 2
North Carolina Biden by 4 Sanders and Trump tied
Arizona Biden by 4, Trump over Sanders by 2
Ohio Biden by 5, Sanders by 2


And so on. It's my opinion Democrats are voting for electable over ideology. I think there is no question Sanders supporters are the more passionate. But it seems cold, hard numbers is winning over passion. That and the fact the more passionate younger voters are showing up to vote. They may be more passionate, but their passion isn't bringing them to the polls.

The older voters seem to be going with the candidate with the best chance of winning in November. my opinion anyway.

It's high past time that we start electing Americans to congress and the presidency who put America first instead of their political party. For way too long we have been electing Republicans and Democrats who happen to be Americans instead of Americans who happen to be Republicans and Democrats.
